Completely pointless comment but I could fit a DT200 in the back of my old barn door MQ patrol (seats folded completely flat in back level with floor).
I can get my z50 in my Rangie...

Gen 3s are going for $1500-2500 if you look hard enough (ebay etc). Remap computer to the 300kw....Sounds hard to beat.

Thanks for that, ebay UK had no responses to questions and none listed and local land rover dealer reckoned non there or head office, Karcraft came through.

$105 or thereabouts.

Orange/Black will look great.
Looks to be some serious suspension travel there.

Be throwing some 35s on mine shortly as well, have lined up 2" spring and 2" body lift, but does anyone have any pics of how this looks and also if cutting is helpful, how much to cut?
Be needing some flares also where would one find what is available for range rover classic 4 door?

Hi just bought my first Rangie, probably seen it recently on ebay.
Drive it 600km or so home no dramas, had patrols and zooks before, but must say this is nicer to drive and got some reasonable economy on hwy.
Pretty shit around town though. 87 model, 5 speed, bit of a roughie cosmetically.

My father bought a pre delivery one late 79 (was told it was the first SOLD (but maybe dealer lied), but not necessarily the earliest number) but i dont have a number as it was sold around 10 years ago, it was a diesel and from my memory pretty much the same as my 82 model (except L28).

I remember seeing that in the magazine a while ago. He doesnt run a front diff or transfer anymore and Im pretty sure he even changed to a 9" to make up for the offset. So its an MQ and its tuff but it isnt a 4x4.

Havent gotten around to making my own account yet, on a mates.
I bought an LN61 surf a few weeks ago with some minor mods, few inches of lift, 32's, alloys and all the guff. After ironing out all the issues, it has been a great car.
